The morals of the Delta upper mgmt team can not be as low as those of another US airline I'm familiar with.
Over here, among "our guys", the so-called "leader" (actually a temporary 'string puppet') of whom came up to our c0ckp1t not long ago for a very brief visit, thankfully, probably all have round-the-clock personal security. In just one of the glaring contradictions exposed recently in the bankruptcy hearings, the company tried to exclude its smaller narrowbody planes (100+ seats) - dozens of them - from its comparative cost analyses.
Ironically, the CEO of the very successful JetBlue grosses only about $400,000 US per year (so does a co-founder of the huge megastore chain COSTCO, based upon a featured segment on the tv show 20/20, or whichever program.). If true, these are signs of leadership, in at least one important way.
One of our regular Pprune clowns will find this thread and imply (...by never acknowledging...) that we do NOT sometimes work 12-14 consecutive hour duty periods and suggest that we never fly 5-7 legs per duty day, sometimes to minimums if weather is present, sweating the fuel and re-figure what we (and our helpless passengers and cabin crew) require with constantly changing weather/traffic/runway conditions. By making amazingly ignorant, sweeping generalizations, he has suggested that ALPA's trip and duty rigs prevents these conditions (and they we don't often work hard, if ever), as if ALPA creates trips for the company. Such clowns assume that our companies want us to be productive. The key word is 'want'. If this were true, why would many US airlines NOT want us narrowbody crewmembers to have a minimum daily pay credit guarantee over 4 hours and 15 minutes? Such young, ignorant aviators have no concept of the sloppy utilization granted to middle managements if such work rules, incentives for productivity, simply are watered down or disappear.
I doubt that anybody has answered this question, at least on Pprune.
